The problem was the fact that a preposition was used in the clue. Hamburgers
on a grill. Had he said "grilling hamburgers", I wouldn't have had a beef with the clue.

A slightly related issue came up on $100K the other day. They got crossed up at the top on "Things That Are Wonderful", and Dick sent Teresa Ganzel screaming with "The World of Walt Disney," which of course gave the player the right answer instantly. And the judge didn't buzz it. Now, it was just the usual post-mortem, but I have to wonder if that would have flown if the clock were running, since, while it's being used in that form to imply the proper name ("The Wonderful World of Walt Disney" was a Sunday-night staple on ABC for forever and a day), it's also pretty clearly prepositional..."Walt Disney's World", while potentially less useful as a clue, would have been perfectly legal phrasing.
